Is it possible to have a live tile on start screen showing info like CPU and RAM usage, CPU and GPU temps? Since Windows 8 doesn't support gadgets, it would be awesome if I could see all that info updated in real time on my Start Screen.

might be something in http://msdn.microsof...s/br205762.aspx though, I'll have to look through it, and you could probably do it through cross-communication between a service running on the desktop and the metro app

if you have a developer license you should be able to run an app like this, but I doubt there's much chance of getting it through the certification process O.O
